NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – NiS – Atlanta

  • Mike- P12 – pitted for the last green flag stop from fourth came out first had a 3.8 second lead over second had a lap car trying to push me and after a little bit, I got turned. There were subsequent cautions that came out worked my way back up but ran out of fuel on the before the final green white checker so I had to restart at 16th made my way up to finish P 12.
  • Donnie- P10
  • Chris – P 16. The Waldron’s Furniture Racing crew showed incredible resolve this weekend. After getting caught up in a wreck, we dropped all the way back to 30th with four minutes of damage to overcome. But the team worked tirelessly in the pits, getting the car back in shape. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to salvage a 16th-place finish in our Sim Wraps, iRacers Lounge, and Premier Set-Up Chevy Camaro. It’s a true testament to the crew’s resilience and determination.
  • Brad- P17. Started p9 and same old story, different day. Ran in the top 5 almost all the race and even led some laps late but coming to the line with a top 5 finish in sight…Nope, not going to happen. Leaders wreck, I get turned and finish backwards in p17.
  • Joe– got the Pole. P13 
  • John – P8 Really like the racing at this track. We had 8 cautions, which was a bit much, but overall enjoyable. I stayed in the top 15 most of the race, had good pit stops, and good restarts, except one. Got a slow start on the GWC and left a gap. Thats never good. We were single file on the last lap. Guy two cars in front got out of line and the guy in front of me past him. I followed, but the guy that slid up gave me no room. I guess he thought he could side draft, but he was wrong. We touched and wrecked but I still got 8th. I’m very happy because this gave me my second top 10 in the first two weeks of the season. Pretty good for me.

Wednesday Open -NiS – COTA

  • Mike- P19- only got to 8x but was one of the slowest out there, got what i deserve.
  • David – P 9  8x.  Focused on racing the track, short pitted to get out of congestion with some lap cars and a guy behind that I wasn’t trusting his patience.  After pit cycle never saw him again so right call.  I actually like that shorter layout.
  • Chris – P DQ’d. The track limits on this track are stupid. Get a wheel a little on the paint and it’s 1x after 1x. Shame on iRacing for not having the track limits right. When we watch on Sunday the cars will be all over the place. I hate this new layout. Finished P2 last year. This is stupid and no fun. 
  • Brad- P26 – Top split so I finished where I deserved. Not a fan of this track and more so this layout. One and done but I scored more points here than I did at Daytona.
  • Donnie – P25

Thursday Open- NiS – COTA

  • Mike- P13- started 15th got the 10th by the end of lap 1/8 by the end of lap two and then got as high as P4 as pitstop cycled, but ended up spinning twice on my own and ended up finishing P 13

Official Series

Draft Master

  • Kyle P1 Started P8 and just drove around on the top lane. Lap 8 snake my way through the big one and fall back 1.4 from the lead pack. Just staying in their tire tracks I was able to suck back up the lead pack of 8 trucks. Made moves when I could. 2 to go I jump to the 3rd lane and just held it to the floor. Coming to turn 3 a lapper was way off the pace and he chose to stay in the middle allowing me to ride the top lane and get around the 2 other lower lanes. I was able to drop to the front of the bottom line and just watched out my mirror the last lap. Nice to have a win in 2025. It’s been over a year since my last oval win.

A Open

  • John K. P14. Started 19th. Could not keep the car under control. Handled like a log wagon. Too tight, then too loose, then too tight, then too loose and on and on. Had a good group in the lobby and that always helps. But I was just too slow. Some races thats just the way it goes. We just suck it up and move on to the next one and chase the win.

IMSA

  • Brad W – P11 – (GT3-LeMans) Top split and started next to last. Managed to get lucky with some guys taking themselves out but I was way off ace. Really struggled finding the balance with the Vette here in all the high speed curves.

GT /IMSA  Conspit Endurance Series

  • William W – P12. Unfortunate death about 5 hours in. First time driving GTP in a race. Only hit the wall once. 

League / Hosted Races

Grass Roots Racing GTP/GT3 League

  • William W –  P8. I do not understand Algarve/Portimou whatever. Second off pace all night.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Thursday Fixed – NiS – Daytona

  • Tony -Pweeeeeeee in the wall.  Round 3 of 6 of week Of Daytony. Started 3rd just minding my own business when a couple cars up front hug and spin and collect me and end my day with a too much damage cant continue… honestly think Fix drafty track is a bit harder than open for the simple fact everyone is running same set

Friday Open – NiS – Daytona

  • Mike- P disqualified kept getting wrecked over and over and over
  • David – P spun into wall pitting
  • Tony -P6 round 4 of 6 of week of Daytony started 3rd on this one. Kept it clean even led a lap. Got door slammed by a guy that was not clear trying to get in the inside lane which i believe killed my aero for rest of the race.1st gwc got collected in a dipshit doing 3 wide on the apron doing dipshit stuff. And avoided some good wrecking on the 2nd gwc. 
  • Greg -P wrecked out
  • Tyler – P9. After battling several computer issues I had help from above with B Mac spotting for me. Kept it clean for the most part and just capitalized on the restarts. Happy with a top 10 at the 500!

Saturday Fixed- NiS – Daytona

  • Tony P18 round 5 of 6 of Daytony week. Started mid pack. Had some dumbass lapped cars made me lose the draft by side drafting. Just never could make it back to the front. Towards end of the race was a lap down and was lucky dog. Made the mistake of just edging the pace car at the line and got a black flag and had a 1 second hold. Never did get my caution to get my lap back.

Sunday Open- NiS – Daytona

  • David – P wrecked out early, 0 for 4 and that much closer to an early end of NiS.
  • Tony – P8 last round 6 for 6 runs of the daytona 500. Race was ok til mid race and restart with 2 wide when a few lap damaged cars stay door to door with me and the cars mid pack and make us loose the draft. I ended up a lap down with no yellows at the end to get lucky dog. 

Sunday Fixed- NiS – Daytona

  • Mike- P7 had a good race going nice and clean up until 10 to go. I was at the top five and a big wreck. I was involved in stayed out with damage for the restart. Then caution after caution, we had two green white checkers somehow someway I finished P7.

Wednesday Open -NiS – Atlanta

  • Mike- P3- had a great race, led some laps. Got a pit road penalty from the lead and had to start tail end from the new Pitt Road rules drove it back up through there within just a few laps back to the lead.  Got involved in a incident where I got blamed, but it wasn’t my fault after reviewing replays, but no damage was able to keep it clean as the final restart came with my teammate behind me. We were coming hard on the 2 L but we didn’t quite have enough. We finished third and fourth.
  • David – P4, drove with my formula wheel at clutch paddles for brake the throttle.  Really just tried to stay safe and even at the end I was not aggressive as I could have been cause I just wanted a finish after 5 wreckouts in a row.
  • Tony – P22 started 2nd led a few laps and just kept getting shuffled to the back from checkups and ttrying to avoid ass ramming cars in front and losing the draft. Got nose damage when wreck in front caught me. I miss old Atlanta and hate this mile and half drafty shit
  • Kyle – P14 Started P13 raced my way up to Justin And BW and held the top 10 until I made a mistake out of turn two and clipped the apron. Fell way back and came to the top line and just drove to the front half of the field. Fell back a bit to finish a hard 8 lap battle to come home P14.
  • Chris – P 19. The Waldron’s Furniture, iRacers Lounge, Sim Wraps, Premier Set Up Shop Chevy was a beast—qualified 4th, but the PC shut down when I get in. Started from the pits, fought my way to 4th, but with 20 to go, a wreck up ahead caused a pileup, and I got 8 minutes of damage. I limped it to the finish and ended up P19. Not the result I wanted, but hey, my bright red Chevy Camaro will be back to get those checkers Friday Night. 
  • Brad- P11 A frustrating race to say the least. The car had great speed but it is so hard to pass here. I spent most of the race in the top 10 glued to the bottom but you can’t win from there. Tried to work the high side but it was really hard to make movement if you were not leading the line. Was hoping for a top 5 but was forced three wide in the last few laps and had to concede spots to avoid wrecking. Will be glad to say goodbye to “drafting” tracks. Two back to back is too much. 
  • Tyler – P4. Started in the back and tried my best to stay out of trouble. Cautions fell at the right time and kept the fenders on. Got to push to the finish,  my teammate and iRacing Legend, Mike Ellis to a P3. I’m pleased with my 4th place run. Just need one more lap. Great showing by Tifosi! 
  • Evan- p1 (a open instead of NIS accidentally)

Thursday Open- NiS – Atlanta

  • Mike- P 20- had a good run clean race worked my way up to lead. The race was leading the bottom lane when the guy behind me pushed me coming off the exit 2 and sent me down to the apron never recovered finished P 20.

Official Series

M2

  • Ellis – P3 Laguna Seca qualified six finish P3 got the dirt in the corkscrew and knocked somebody off. Course wasn’t real proud of that.

A Open

  • Brad W – P9 (Atlanta) The race was very clean and surprisingly tame until the last lap. Was running in second and while taking the white was taken 4 wide. Was spun but managed to finish 9th.
    • P20 (Atlanta) Started P5 and ran in top 5 all race. Got shuffled off the bottom coming out of T2 with two to go. Coming to white flag, a spinner ahead caused a check up. Felt like I was going to clear but got run over from behind and destroyed. Not a fan of the season starting with back to back drafting tracks.


League / Hosted Races

Majors Endurance Championship

  • Greg and David –  P16.  Mid pack car, had a clean race till hour four a gt3 just ignored us passing them on the outside and hit us and caused us to get hit from behind.  They were penalized.  The race has a neat format but they have some kinks to work out like the admin of our split knowing the procedure for Safety Cars.

Grass Roots Racing GTP/GT3 League

  • William W –  P14. Murdered by a mistake behind me on lap 1 turn 1.

Friday open – Winter NiS – Talladega

  • John – P16. This was not a good race for me. Banged the outside wall twice without help. Car was way too loose and I just messed up. Could  not control it.  Second time gave me wheel damage that was fatal.

Sunday fixed- Winter NiS – Talladega

  • Mike- P11- grand top five all night let some laps a guy in front of me got loose near the end and I tagged him ended up with five minutes damage and had to bring it home P 11.

M2

  • Ellis– P Lédenon- qualified eight out of 12. Very competitive race finished P5 very happy with that still one second off the fast guy. I don’t know how they doing it.
    • Switched tracks to Okayama international circuit. Qualified 11 out of 12.
    • Qualified for finish P3 great run
    • Qualified got up to third but the guy in fourth decided to direct me out and got my car destroyed DNF

IMSA

  • Brad W – P DNF City – two starts and two DNF. I have completed a total of 5 laps in two races.
  • William W- P
    • 2/1 – P12. Started P2, worst rejoin I’ve ever seen by LMP2. See discord. 
    • 2/2 – P14. Started P2. Was leading when got meatball from GTP trying to pass. Good bit of netcode. 
    • 2/2- P4. Bad quali, started P19, but had pace and good pit stop. 

GT Sprint Simucube Series

  • William W – P11. 2nd split, 2.6k sof. Guys were fast. Qualified P16 out of 32, found a little pace throughout the race. Slow pit.

GT /IMSA Endurance Series

  • William W – P6. I made a bad move on lap 4 diving into someones vortex of danger. 3k driver qualified the car and put a 1.5k in to start the race. He was a moving roadblock. My teammate had a really good drive, was able to get us back to P6. 

League / Hosted Races

Grass Roots Racing GTP/GT3 League

  • William W –  P6. Screw Barcelona. That is all. 

Polar Series – Phoenix

  • David Hall – P8 Something about Phoenix and this car works better for me.  Had good speed and long run.  However, the arrow push is real.  I would run down cars, and unless they were really struggling with handling, I would slow down and not even be able to get their bumper, they didn’t have to block or anything.

More Updates For Marvin’s Awesome iRacing App

I am not sure if you guys have seen this, but a clever programmer has come up with a cool app that opens iRacing 360hz to more bases and offers some unique setting options.  Main one being the ability to scale the “FFB Detail” higher without having to increase the overall FFB Force.  He has effectively separated the detail and main force levels via 2 channels (AC/DC).

He’s quickly implementing changes to improve the performance and include community suggestions.  The bit I have tested shows good promise.  Some other users are also very impressed with the clarity of FFB signal and adjustability.

The main issue I see now (and suffer from myself) is that Simagic bases are not functioning properly with the app.  But all other brands I have seen mentioned (usual suspects) are working well.  The dev says he will be working to address the Simagic issue when he can visit a friend with one of them.

Also interesting is that David Tucker from iRacing’s programming team has been chatting with the dev and seems to appreciate the direction of the project.  Anyway, may still be a ways out from ultimate refinement but it is a simple app to set up and test for yourself.

    • We switched over to circuit de Lebanon. I qualified 11th out of 12 and top split got my way up to finish. P6 had a great battle for six with a guy and it was a little rough and I ended up getting the bump and run on the final corner to take the spot Great racing
    • Qualified fifth finish P2 great run, but I didn’t have anything for the leader. He was way faster than me.  

A Open

  • Chris W – P 6. Took a bit to learn the set up. I quit shifting and took off. Late race caution I stayed out on tires 10 laps old. Lead some laps and bright it home P6. 

IMSA

  • Brad W – P6 (GTD-Road America) Probably one of my favorite circuits. Started p9 and was able to gain a few spots in the early laps. As large as this place is, traffic can still be an issue. I could gain on cars ahead until being passed. Had a very good pitstop and jump p6 and was able to hold him off till the finish.

Grass Roots Racing GTP/GT3 League

  • William W –  P2. Road America Week. Qualified P2, fell to P3 on first lap with bad off track. Rode in P3 for a long time, jumped to P2 at the pitstop. With 20 min to go spun the car coming out of the final corner got some aero damage and got passed by p3. P1 got taken out with about 15 to go trying to pass a lapped car. Could have had the win if not for the spin, but will take P2. Probably only race this week.

Mr. 10,000

How we was racing Late Models, and had heard from the Waltrip brothers about iRacing. So bought a used g27 wheel, and still have it today.

In the beginning it was for me to get used to the parameters of a big vehicle.

Helped him the most is the muscle memory, learning consistency.

Talked about his laptop with the g27, he could race on the road, in the hotel, etc…

So while he was at the snowball this year, he used iracing in the hotel, doing laps talking to the crew chief about the car…

Made friends with TJ, and TJ kinda got him involved in the nascar funnel…

Iracing is about getting a good group around you, a community, you go on there to hang with your buddys, its not always about turning laps…

Iracing is more difficult as you can only ‘see’ the car getting loose/tight, while in real racing you feel it in your seat… U can almost see yourself get loose before you feel it, with the iracing realling training you on the seeing the car….

Got to 10000 irating, on 3 accounts….

HOT! iRacing Swag!

Listener Feedback: Should SR Be Related To iR?

To whom it may concern, I have been a faithful listener of the podcast for several years and in listening to the many conversations about the frustration of being involved in way to many accidents, I can’t help but think about an idea I had a few years back now to reduce accidents.

I happen to know many really good drivers that may have ony a 2000 to 3000 IR but a 4.5 or higher SR, and quit officials only to participate in either hosted, or league racing. I tend to be one of those. Actually I have always maintained a SR in the mid fours in both oval and road but in all sincerity I think the last 7 or so official races I ran, I was taken out in about 6 of them no fault of my own. I have also found the most unsafe area to qualify is mid-pack. There always seems to be that one guy that goes for the win in the first turn. 

In my opinion, the most unrealistic aspect to sim racing, is the high percentage of wrecks. As we all know the one thing sim racing cannot replicate is the fear of bodily injury or worse, and the repercussions of very expensive car repair and damage.

So my idea would be to try and equalize this, by having IR more related to and incorporated with SR. So my thought is why not have drivers receive a higher percentage of IR points based on their SR. 

So for example, if you you have a 4.5 or higher SR,  a percentage could be attached to the IR accordingly. Say for every .5 or whatever number determined a driver would receive say a 5% bonus to the IR score.

The numbers could be determined however but the premise is a 2.0 safety rated driver would essentially be punished and the 5.0 driver rewarded.

Lets face it. In real life if we wrecked as much as in the sim world, a high percentage of people would either lose their careers or worse, their lives.  I”m also of the opinion that some sim racers hold much pride in SR as some do IR.

Well that’s my thoughts. I”d really like for Brad Wrenn’s to hear my thoughts and get his opinion on this. I hear so much frustration in his voice when sharing his race results from sloppy driving and poor etiquette. I sympathize. I don’t suspect this is what occurred in his real life racing experience.  

Please don’t share my name if discussed

Thank You, Anonymous

NASCAR iRacing Series

Wednesday open -NiS – Daytona

  • Mike- P had a good race going was running third when the guy behind me ran into me and knocked me down through the grass and then I lost the pack and then shortly after a lapper was pushing me in was scrubbing, left and right on my bumper and basically turned me seven minutes optional I’ve done
  • David – P wrecked, dominate car, formed an alliance within the race and we had a 3 car trio pulling away from the pack.  Caution bunches back up,  and car who doesn’t know how to draft misses the line then comes right back down on me.  Then the fuck tard says I need to get my iRating up.
  • Justin – P
  • Tony – P16 welp here we are new year, new season same ole NiS fun. Started about 9th. stayed out of the way most of the race. About 150 laps in running P8 and coming in for a GF stop When 2 cars behind me not pitting wreck and somehow hit me giving me a unsafe pit entry so had to serve the 40 second penalty while under green. Couldnt make up the 2 laps down. Racing was actually clean for most part for a 1.8k split. Only 6 cautions and a 30 lap run at the end. This is race 1 of 6 il be running this week. NiS Is back and catch me on Tik Tok Live when im racing its fun. 
  • Kyle – P6 started P25 and just hung out in the back. Was having technical issues with my throttle and had to keep resetting my throttle map every couple of laps. Finally about half way I marched my way to the front and took the lead for 9 laps until a green flag run came out and cycled back a few spots due to a lapper who wanted to block the whole track. Stayed in the top 10 to bring it home P6
  • Chris – P 4. I kept the Waldron’s Furniture, iRacers Lounge, Sim Wraps, Premier Racing Set-Ups Chevy clean for most of the race as some big incidents thinned out the field. My goal was to stay safe until the final fuel run. Then it was balls to the wall. The draft had me moving both forward and backward, but I managed to charge from 11th to 4th in the final lap. You can see it in my eyes – I’m laser-focused and determined to win the Daytona 500 this week.
  • Brad- P28. Really had a good race going. The racing was really tame for the first half of the race. It looked like fuel was going to come into play. However, a yellow around lap 115 had us all pit. Coming back to the green in the top 10 when we lost power at the house. Thursday night and we still have no power. Oh well, call this one an engine gremlin.
  • Donnie – DNF.  Ran top 8 the whole race, good pit stops. Finally taken out by the lobby closer.  I’ll try again Sunday morning.
  • Tyler – P lost internet

Thursday Open- NiS – Daytona

  • Mike- P dnf – green flag stop around halfway running 4th, got into hot to pitroad and slammed into the wall
  • David – P wrecked out, a pit in mistake getting loose on entry to put me where I was in the wrong mix, but the wreck was just bystnder standard
  • Tony – P ass rammed welp got my pole on, led first 40 laps til GF stops. About half way was caught a lap down when caution came out when i was pitting. Was trying to stay clean in the lucky dog when i just got total slammed when i was checking up for car in front. Sent to the wall hood a flapping. Too much damage to finish.

Official Series

Draft Master

  • Ellis -Daytona. Started ninth was leading laps and upfront in the mix coming to the end. I was pushing a guy on the outside, but I ended up getting wrecked and finishing P6.  

A Open

  • Mike. P22- was all over the place most of the race but at the end I was like five or six back on the bottom lane guy tried to shove it underneath me and turned me into Pitt Road and I ran through Pitt Road to get to the start finish line so it scored me one lap down in P 22. Fixed. 
  • Mike- Open -Man, last night I was in position to win. It was the White. I’m on the bottom three back the outside Lane is coming. I move up to block. I see him going higher like they’re gonna go around me. I don’t continue or finish the block and they go around me and I ended up fourth.

IMSA

  • Brad W – P5 (GTD-Monza) Finally was able to finish one. Started mid pack but was somewhat consistent and picked them off over the race. Not my best track but glad to get away with a top 5 after two DNFs.

League / Hosted Races

Hosted- 

  • Ellis – Saturday night, The Clash and hosted special thanks to Chris Waldron for putting on the event and our winner. Michael takes on the wind and gets the push to talk button.  Refill the room with 40 people had a pretty good event and I appreciate everyone coming out.

24 hours of Daytona – 

  • Ellis– P3 I got in the car with about six hours left. We were already in P3 at that point and had a very uneventful race in the fog. Stay dry the whole time I ran two double stents took a break and then another double stent.
  • Chris – P15: I had a great experience all week. It was fun to get practice and to bond with teammates. I got to race in the rain for the first time at 1am est to 4am and absolutely loved it. I wanted to bring the car back with 0x added but had two fender benders. This is my second 24, first finish, and I can’t wait until next year. Proud of the resiliency of this group. 
  • William- P3. GRR team of 4. Did the 7AM EST timeslot. Started P15, was P6 by the time I got in the car for my first stint. Team of 4 did double stints, 1 guy couldn’t race during day, one at night. Pretty clean race overall. Got punted off in the horseshoe early on but no damage and not much spot lost. Started raining in my second stint, rained for a couple hours then dried. Then rained again all night long. We did fine in the rain, and I understand its a part of racing, but kinda disappointed in the amount when i’ve talked to other timeslots that didn’t have any at all. We were P2 at one point chasing the leaders, but had a slight mishap with the inside pit wall about 16 hours in. 6 min repairs, dropped to 6 but recovered to podium P3.
  • Tyler – P15 in class and P25 overall. Spent a week practicing for this event only for half of it to be wet. Disappointed by the weather forecast but had a great time with the GT3 team. Rain and multi class racing was a major challenge but the best 24 yet. I’m ready for the next one. 
  • Brad – P15 Can’t say enough about the team’s effort this past weekend. The race did not go the way that we planned. Almost half was in the rain (on a 25% forecast). The guys stepped it up and overcame many challenges. Did we make mistakes? Yes, did we learn? Yes and we will be better prepared for the next one.

GT4

  • Donnie S – GT4 Challenge Barcelona – P6 and P17  GT4/LMP3 Barcelona – P7 and 3

M2

  • Ellis– P qualified P4 finish P2 made a couple mistake mistakes. I probably could’ve won it.
    • Qualified second
    • New track Winton motor raceway.  Qualified third got dumped in the first turn on the first lap fell back to the end and finish P 10.
    • X-ray qualified for

IMSA

  • Brad W – P11 (GTD-Nurburgring) Last car in top split. I like this track but I can’t find speed here. I’m normally 1-1.5 off the fast guys but this weeks it’s closer to 3 seconds. Honestly a p11 was better than what I deserved.
  • William W- P9 Daytona day after 24 and the only race I did this week besides the 24. Only car under 2.3K in this field. Hard race but rewarding keeping pace with with 2.6k drivers. Higher split helped as I was able to get my race pace down to the low to mid 44s, was only able to get to that in qualifying before.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Official Series

GT4

  • Donnie S – Daytona and Mugello Results

IMSA

  • Brad W – P6 (GTD-Daytona) Had a horrible qualifying and figured I was doomed. It was typical Daytona on the first lap. Avoided too many spinning cars and was up in the top 10 coming out of the infield only to be spun coming on to the banking. The eyes turned red and I was driving like a mad man. Played the pit strategy right, took just enough fuel to finish and jumped a bunch of cars. Was happy at the end but know I have a better finish in the car.

GT Sprint Simucube Series

  • William W – 1/11 P4. Started P7 finish P4. Didn’t feel like I was as fast as some that I finished ahead of, but kept it clean and good pitstop. 

GT Endurance Series

  • William W – P26 Qualified horrible, started P52, getting used to porsche, up to P40 by lap 3 then got dumped in the horseshoe. Mostly incident free after that to finish P26, but could have been better.

Roar Before the 24

  • William W – P11. Self sabotage. First time driving the AMG in months. No practice. Started middle pack, got black flag on lap 3 for not clearing a slow down. Recovered nicely, but could have been much better without the self inflicted wounds. 
  • Brad W – P5 (GT4) What a fun race! Did not have a great qualifying lap but in race trim the car was great. Ran multiple people down making my way to the front to grab p5 by inches at the line.

League / Hosted Races

Leagues

  • Westbrook’s GTP/GT3 League – Daytona Week P3. Could have been P2 but got some damage pushing out of turn 5. Glad to hold onto P3 after that. Was a rather sloppy race than normal as far as driving standards are concerned in this league. 

Majors Series

  • Brad W P17 (GTD-Majors2.4) Started on pole but lost P1 because of iRacing multiclass starting issues. Lap one a safety car was called and half the field did not “hear” it. Lost 4 spots for cars passing under yellow. They were not penalized but that rant is over. Drove back up to p2 before first stop, cand came out and the car was a mess. I spun multiple times, used my fast repair and spun multiple times again. Could not figure out what was wrong until I parked it. Went to the garage and saw I had put on Wet tires. I had a button on my wheel mapped to change compounds and I somehow hit it during the first stint. I threw this one away. Needless to say, that mapping is now moved to the button box.
  • David P4 – Was comfortably in third, a lapped GTP dove bomb a gt3, the gt3 freaked out and spun into me.

Hosted- 

  • Ellis –supercars at Michigan Chris McGuire hosted finished P4
    • At Charlotte legend’s oval legend cars and radical SR8. Started in the back finish P8.
    • Supercars in Michigan wrecked out
    • All in the car at Pocono started at 12 finish P4
    • Lotus 49 and star Mazda at Pocono Road course start at P 12 finished p seven
    • BMW M2 at lime rock started P3 finish. P2 had a good battle getting around second to take that V2 nice clean pass.
    • Then Pole  position – let every lap no one challenge me, pulled away to almost 7 second gap to win the race career win number 105
    • Then fifth finished second
    • Then started fifth and won the race winner winner chicken dinner number 106
  • Westbrook – Sim Racing for the Kids. This was technically before last week’s show, but I’d like to talk about it if we have time. Great time for a great cause. Both of our teams had a fantastic time. We placed P12 after a bit of a slip in qualifying. Super clean race for our end. Sister team P2

Polar Series – Legacy Kentucky

  • Mike – P18
  • David Hall – P15, accidentally started from pits, and thus couldn’t make it on 1 stop

NASCAR iRacing Series

Official Series

GT4

  • Donnie S– Q8, P9 (IMSA Sports Car Endurance Challenge) I have no memory…lol
    • GT4 Fixed – Daytona Q16, P25.  DQ w/in 5 laps.  The absolute worst iRacing experience in my 4.5 Years.
    • Falken Tire SC Championship – Q9, P8.  Much better race, solid points.
  • Brad W – P18 (IMSA Sports Car Endurance Challenge) I just can’t find pace at Watkins Glen. Does not matter what car I drive. I finished where I deserved. Very frustrating 2 hours.

FIA F4 

  • Ellis – P wrecked out. Was running 10th and got totally destroyed. An intentional wreck from behind going into turn one from about nine Karl links back. They just never break and just run into the back of me.  Lime rock.

B Open

  • John – P7. Started in P6. This one went green until two laps to go, when two lappers crashed the leaders. On the restart the leader lost it in turn one and cremated half the field. My car was trashed, but apparently many others were even worse. Managed to pass two cars on the last lap with my junker and almost cracked the top five.

IMSA

  • Ellis – at Sebring in the Cadillac- p7 avoided some carnage and was a little bit involved, but didn’t hurt the car soldier dad home to finish P7 after blowing a right front right before I pit it for fuel.
  • Brad W – P2 (GTD-Sebring) Started p5 and the car had great pace. Gained a spot or two from spinners early and through pit stop. One of the best races I have had at Sebring.

League / Hosted Races

Hosted- 

  • Ellis -BMW M2 @Ober Slaton started P6 finished P3 nice run
    • 87 at Talladega hosted Chris McGuire

Polar Series – Richmond

  • Mike – P 16 no cautions I got pretty much what I deserved
  • Justin – P rage quit too tight
  • Brad W – P 11 The car was tight but I managed it much better in the first half of the race. After pitting I used the tires up too quickly. Fell back and rather disappointed with the finish.
  • David Hall – P 17

NASCAR iRacing Series

Official Series

GT4

  • Donnie S – GT4 Fixed, P13 and P21

                               GT4/LMP’s – P12 and P5

  • Brad W – P10 (GT4-Watkins Glen) Decided to get some practice laps in for this weekend’s Sports Car Endurance Challenge race with a 30 minute race. I finished about where I should have. I never have great pace at this track. Kept it clean even though there were some sketchy moves early in the race for passes.

FIA F4 

  • Ellis– P12- spin off on my own had to pit then finished it off. Watkins glen.
    • Brazil started way back and made myself miss all the racks and ended up finishing P6 and top split. There were three Coke drivers in there.
    • Started at ninth worked my way up to six but then shut off not once but twice on my own to finish P 16

IMSA

  • Hall – P3x1, P1, in an epic last 2 lap battle
  • Brad W – P8 (GTD-Motegi) Started near the rear as this was top split. Managed to avoid some spinners early and settled into a decent finish but top split is nice because I earned more points finishing p8 vs p4.
    • P5 (GTD-Sebring) Started p4 but gave up spots for safety at the beginning. Really struggling here with the Mustang. It does not handle the bumps especially through Sunset Bend. Was probably going to finish p7 but p5 and p6 took each other out. A very good points day.

League / Hosted Races

Hosted- 

  • Ellis – Indy car at Indianapolis started at 33rd finished fourth great race!
    • 87 at Talladega came from the back to the front that got wrecked out near the end
    • Jen for Michigan got wrecked out wasn’t very fun actually
    • Holiday event was dirt trucks at wild West motorsports Park cautions returned on which turned into a debacle and we didn’t end up finishing the event
    • 87 at old Daytona started at 33rd and won the race winner winner chicken dinner
    • Del Laura Dash at Daytona wrecked out
    • Old Indy car at Pocono wrecked out
    • 87 at Talladega got wrecked out

Polar Series – Homestead

  • Mike – P14 – set was really hard to drive
  • Justin – P7
  • Donnie Spiker – P16
  • David Hall – P taken out by a guy who has a history of taking me out, ran him down clean, passed clean, he gets back cause I let another faster car go, and stays beside me and washes up to take me out.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Official Series

GT4/Sports Car Challenge/IMSA MPC/IMSA Sportscar Endurance Challenge

  • Donnie S– End of Week 1, ran the IMSA Endurance Challenge with Brad.  Recovered to P15, taken out on lap1, incidentally, by an LMP3 torpedo.
    • Week 2, ran two GT4 Fixed.  Race 1, Q12, P8 on a damp track with drys.  
    • Race 2, Q9, P12 on a wet track, wet tires.  Falken Sports Car Challenge, DNQ (spun), P9 with a 9X.  8X from getting ass jacked by LMP’s.
  • Brad W – P13 (GT4-VIR SPEC) Made an error on lap two and spun the car coming out of Roller Coaster and collected the poor guy behind me. Sat and repaired for 7 minutes and then just stayed at it and gained spots as other people dropped out. Ran the BMW GT4 and the car is a mess.

A Open

  • Chris W – P
  • John K – Kentucky. P5. This one went green flag all the way. Started P8. One pit stop on lap 55. Was hoping for a late caution to make an adjustment, but did not get it. Top 5 is always fine for me.
    • John K – Atlanta. P9. Started P12. Struggled for the first 65 laps. Got a caution and was able to make adjustments on the springs that worked great and picked up some spots at the end. 

C Open

  • John K – P5. Started on the pole and never got lower than P5. Three caution race with a G/W/C. All cautions were from guys trying to run three wide. Everyone always says you can run three wide at this track, but it always results in the yellow hanky. So, I guess you can run three wide until you can’t. 

IMSA

  • Hall – struggling and motegi and had to start running in the back to recover SR
  • Ellis – P
  • Kyle – P 
  • Brad W – P4 (GTD-Watkins) Third start of the week and this was dry. Not sure why the forecast changed mid-week. Was happy with the finish and gained more points in p4 than I did the previous race in p3.
    • P10 (GTD-Watkins) Fourth start of the week and I managed to spin coming through the bus stop from grabbing too much curb on the second set. Other than that, it was very uneventful.
    • P4 (GTD-Motegi) Started p2 but yielded on start to p3. Not a huge fan of this track but can’t love them all. Lap two p4 dove too late into the corner and spun me out. Went all the way to p15 and then became a mad man driving back up through the field. Way too easy to get offs at this track so SR took a beating.

ARCA

  • John. K – P19. I knew better than to run this, but I got sucked in because I like the new Atlanta. Got caught up in a wreck on lap 2. Got black flagged pitting somehow.  I was not speeding so I’m not really sure why I got it. 


League / Hosted Races

Hosted- 

  • Ellis – Cara tomorrow June 5 at Talladega had a good run, but wrecked out
    • Supercars at Michigan wrecked out
    • Trucks at Talladega wrecked out
    • Indy cars at Indianapolis finished P3
    • 87 at Talladega wrecked out running top five had a blow over

Polar Series – Iowa

  • Mike – P wrecked out
  • Justin – P wrecked out
  • Donnie Spiker – P 10
